Do you steal bases of the pitcher or catcher? That's the question we're trying to answer today. Pitchers have an obligation to control the run game too, ya know. Especially after the MLB 2023 rule changes which increased MLB stolen bases rules. This video will deal a lot with rules, particularly the different between legal MLB pickoff moves and MLB balks.

In this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, I'll make the argument that baserunners steal off the pitcher, because pitchers can do more things. Forget catcher pop time, this is about the pitchers. They have pickoff moves, they can speed things up by pitching from the stretch, and they can vary their looks.
